Nuclear and Hadronic Physics (R. Jones, K. Joo, A. Puckett, P. Schweitzer, A. Wuosmaa):
UConn's nuclear physics research aims to comprehend the nucleus as a complex strong-interaction system while utilizing it as a testing ground for fundamental interactions.
Our work encompasses nuclear astrophysics, electroweak processes in hadrons and nuclei, and investigations into nucleon and meson structure
